Autonomic Dysfunction
Autonomic Dysfunction

Q. My hands and feet are so cold they change color (Raynaud's phenomenon).

A.

It is a condition where peripheral blood vessels excessively constrict, restricting blood flow. This is caused by hyperfunction of the sympathetic nervous system due to an autonomic nervous system imbalance. Instead of simply warming the hands and feet, the fundamental solution involves herbal medicine and moxibustion therapy that warm the abdomen (specifically the lower abdomen) to promote systemic circulation.

📝 Detailed Answer

혈관이 추위를 타서 오그라든 것입니다.

  • 스트레스: 추위뿐 아니라 스트레스 받을 때도 증상이 나타나는 게 특징입니다.
  • 체온: 체온 1도가 올라가면 면역력은 5배 높아집니다. 수족냉증 방치는 면역력 저하의 원인입니다.
💡 장갑

설거지할 때도 고무장갑 안에 면장갑을 끼세요. 찬물 노출을 철저히 막아야 합니다.
